Good afternoon Ladies. Can't believe how busy this thread is getting. Happy to hear that finally showed for those of you waiting for her and good luck to all of the girls who are starting injections. Just got up from my nap. Everything went well today. My single ovary was able to give me 11 follicles. I'll be getting a fertilization report first thing tomorrow. The pain for me after ER was really minimal, just felt more groggy and unbalanced and while laying down I barely feel a thing, it's when I sit up that there is some pain just not that bad. I asked for prescription meds just in case thought. Thanks for all your kind words. May is will be our month

Yay Karla!
I'm so excited for you - I personally think the IVF process is much more exciting than IUI - just think in a few weeks, you'll have little embabies in you!
Wishing you all the best for your IVF cycle and you will get a !
